My Batman
The person in my life that I could most relate to Batman is my Uncle Ba. He shares a lot of qualities with Batman like his beliefs of public service and giving back to the community. Mainly my Uncle gained these beliefs after he began following a new religion after my grandfather’s death. He tries to help whoever whenever he can and like Batman doesn’t care about social class or wealth. Every weekend he goes out and volunteers at our temple to help give food for the poor and he takes me along every week so he can help teach me those traits. So another comparison could be drawn between my uncle and Batman trying to influence the youth with their traits. My Uncle however doesn’t share the same courage as Batman but I think it could b said that h shares the same compassion and love of others as Bruce but also the same ideals becaus both want to make the world a better place.
My Batman
A person that is my Batman is a rapper named NF (Nathan Feuerstein). NF is a new white rapper that raps about his life and tries to tell youth that life isn't always what it looks like. In his song, "Beautiful", he is rapping about a girl that feels lost and is always torn to pieces by her long gone dad and torn away life. His message in the song is that she's beautiful on the inside and that he thinks all girls are beautiful, no matter what they are going through. He goes through these messages in all his songs by talking about his past life that was filled with depression and death and anxiety. He talks to the people that listens to his songs and shows them that we can get through the hard times as long as we don't focus on the past. NF relates to Batman because he wants to help the future kids out of this pit that they are in and doesn't want them to fall victim to others opinions or feelings. He shows people to focus on their own opinions and their own life. Although he likes rapping, it's more like a therapy for himself and he wishes that he didn't have to tell young people that their life is not thrown away. NF isn't very well kn own, but his most popular songs "Let You Down", is about him feeling that his parents are disappointed about him, but he chose his own path. He expresses to people that he chose what he wanted to do and succeeded in it, even when he went through all these traumatizing experiences.
My Batman
The person that I would consider to be my Batman would be my mom. She’s my Batman because she would do anything for me and others even if she is not feeling up to it. She always saves the day for me even if I haven’t been the best behaving lately. She is the biggest help to everyone especially to me and I am very greatful. She reminds me of Batman because of how caring she is especially to me. Every time I’m hungry she always fixes me something to eat or let’s me order something from Uber eats. Or if I want to go out with friends and my dad says no she will convince or just finding a way for me to go. If my friends need a ride anywhere she would pick them up even if it’s like 3 people in one day. I wanted to go to my friend’s band competition and it was like an hour away. She picked up me up from my grandma’s and two other of my friends. She then sat there for about 7 hours waiting for us and if she didn’t do that I definitely would not have been going. Batman faces many obstacles and so does my mom. She is definitely my hero for everything and would be my Batman.

Who is my Batman?
One person that exemplifies "Batman" to me would be Ashton Kutcher. He is mainly known for his acting jobs, however, he also is involved in many humanitarian movements. One of the biggest organizations he is involved in is called "Thorn: Digital Defenders of Children." It is a non-profit organization that he co-started with Demi Moore in 2012 to help save the children in the sex trafficking "industry." As of Thorn's 2018 report, Kutcher's tool (a device that helps track down victims) and the law enforcement have identified over 10,000 victims and exposed sex traffickers. He's been part of this organization for years and not many people know about it.
He is like Batman because he's made a huge impact on the world by trying to save current victims and prevent future victims behind the scenes as Bruce Wayne does. Batman did the same for Gotham as he tries to stop the huge amounts of crime and brutality with his tools. Kutcher once said, "You can roll up your sleeves and go try to be like a hero and go save one person, or you can build a tool that allows one person to save a lot of people." I think this quote epitomizes Batman because Bruce, Arthur, and Robin (whomever it may be) team up to build tools that help Gotham. I also think that Kutcher is like Batman in the fact that he most likely wishes that he didn't have to even build this tool to save thousands of children every year. He wishes that there wasn't a human trafficking issue like this. And, according to Frank Miller, Batman is a hero that wishes he didn't have to exist. Batman wishes Gotham wasn't so engulfed in crime. He wishes that Batman didn't have to exist, but he knows Batman is a necessity to saving the citizens of Gotham.

Who is my Batman?
Batman is a man of strong character, fierce and will stand up for what he believes in. He also doesn’t care about others opinion, able to stand strong and do what he knows is right even if others don’t think so. One person I would have to say that I see this very way is actually my boyfriend. He is fierce and doesn’t care about what others think about him. Able to distinguish right from wrong and have a really good moral compass such as Batman. Both are self sacrificing and care about the greater good of any situation. Sometimes this need for peace can get to both of them, bringing them down to low points or higher expectations of themselves. However, both are hard working and don’t need superpowers to make a difference. They are efficient, hard workers that can handle their own. They also both depend on others in their life to get them through the harder times. For example, how Batman depends on Robin to get through the trouble and make it easier my boyfriend depends on me. Able to simply call me over and have me helping him through anything. These two people/ characters and both strong enough that they know that needing help is not a sign of weakness. They are able to call and depend on these loved ones by their side, pulling motivation by even their sidekicks very spirit to get through all bad. Both are seen as the hero’s of others, although both have difficulty being understood by others, able to defend and protect what they stand and believe in no matter what the cost or plan they have to go through.
My Batman
In my life there are few people who I say are true heroes. One easy example I can think of is my father. Every time I am in trouble he seems to swoop in and help me; wether I need a hand with my homework, or I forget Mother's day is coming, he is there to lend a hand. Now, Batman is known for his ability to provide aid to those in need. My dad seems to always be looking out for others before himself. Much like Batman, my father devotes his life to doing good in the world. He spends every day teaching students who often find school challenging because they are from impoverished homes. Another trait Batman displays is his willingness to do what is right even when not doing anything, or doing the wrong thing, is easier. When my father is off work, his dedication to helping others continues. You often will find him rebuilding fences, helping a friend with home repairs, or preparing for his next lesson with his students. For these reasons, I believe my father is a real life hero.
Who is your batman
Someone who epitomizes Batman in my life would be my mom. There are multiple reasons why she would be compare to Batman in the good and bad things he does stuff and how its done. As any person she would do stuff that were good in her eyes even if it was misunderstood by others because others won't do anything. There has been many acts that she has done in the life that I have been present to see such as doing more than others because many people will be satisfied with the requirements needed but she always wanted to do more than just by herself. To add on her morals was something that was never forgotten even when everything was against her such as Batman. Such as Batman his morals no matter in what it is his morals isn't forgotten even in combat with villains like how she is very frustrated or stressed on a difficult accomplishment or task of some sort she might get mad but doesn't over react to lose herself. Although Batman tends to do actions in a way that many wouldn't do she will also have those times. There are times that there is an extent of doing some stuff that aren't necessary, but it always help others like the city of the Gotham. There are many positive things with Batman and his choices but there is also some negative parts of him, but he always wants to do the correct thing.
